I read about neuromorphic processing earlier in the year and am very excited to hear that WBT are investing in this field. It is the future.

The key difference between the neuromorphic processors and the ones used in your computer is that they process data in an analog, rather than a digital fashion. This means that instead of sending information in a series of on and off electrical bursts, they vary the intensity of these signals, just like our brain’s synapses do.

A big difficulty with building neuromorphic chips, though, is being able to precisely control these analog signals. Their intensity needs to vary, but in a controlled and consistent fashion.

Attempts to find a suitable medium for these varying electrical signals to travel through have previously been unsuccessful, because the current ends up spreading out all over the place. WBT's chips help create clear pathways for the electrical signals, leading to much less variance in the strength of the signals.
